I was recently offered a contract position with this company.  I want
to know if they are a reputable company.  Since they are based in the
UK, I do not have any knowledge of them.  Here is the information that
I do have:

H&C Express, Inc.
14081 Memorial Drive
London, United Kingdom EC7Y 1AF


Bank Details are: 
Account Name: HCAcc 
Account Number 10010887 
BSB 064008 
Swift; CTBAAU2S

TEL: +44 (0)845 212 0667
+44 (0)844 099 6662

FAX: +44-20-7900-3994 

Website:
www.hc-express.com

Any feedback regarding their authenticity would be great.  Thank you.  db

Hello coltonjax-ga,

NO!!! They are not a reputable company. I?ve done a thorough search to
find if they are engaged in any kind of legitimate business and my
conclusion is that this is a scammer. Here are the steps I took to try
to identify what this business is really about.

I first looked at their web site and noted that it is extremely cheesy
and there is very little real information provided about what the
business does and no indications of customers, vendors or news
reports. This sends up warning flags.

Next I searched for the address: <14081 Memorial Drive London, United
Kingdom EC7Y 1AF> and got a few hits. The very first one was a posting
on a scam warning site that said the business name was Job@Home, Inc.
with URL <biz-mail-express.org>. The others were job posting sites
with variations on the company name and the phone numbers. All offered
work at home jobs that involved getting paid a percentage of money you
resend to a ?collaborator in your country.? Such a job sounds
extremely fishy. Next I searched for <biz-mail-express.org> and the
results showed that this is a known scamming site related to an
international criminal operation that aims to recruit US residents for
various check cashing scams. It looks like money laundering or other
criminal activity.

Next I looked up the WhoIs records for <biz-mail-express.org>, and
<hc-express.com>. I discovered that despite the claim that they?ve
been in business since 1999 biz-mail-express was first registered in
August, 2004 and hc-express.com was registered in May, 2005.

The owner of hc-express.com doesn?t seem as savvy as the others and
used his own name it seems. The domain owner is located in Florida. He
used a fictional address but seems to have used his own phone number.
I have a feeling someone will report him to the authorities soon. He
seems to have been caught up with the international scammers and is
now trying to recruit more people for the scheme.

Below, I?ve included the various threads that lead me to believe the
company you asked about is a scam and probably illegal. I?ve also
included some information on how to spot fraudulent work at home
schemes.

It?s a good thing you investigated this company. Run! Have nothing
more to do with them.

Re: www.biz-mail-express.org 
My dealings with them went as such. I will keep it brief.. Answered an
ad in local newspaper. Went to web site and filled out info/
name/address etc. Soon there after began receiving emails saying I
would be receiving checks to cash and to Western Union money to Russia
after taking 5% off the top. They would follow up with where to WU the
money to etc. The whole thing sounded fishy to me and THANKS to this
site I decided to contact local authorities( before cashing checks).
It is in local authorities and FBI hands now..

The large financial company needs collaborators.
If you need the work that takes you about 2-3 hours a week!

skills or length of service but you haven't got them!
Our company invites to collaboration any interested persons from USA.
The quantity of the posts from each state is limited. Don't miss! Such

Our company was founded in 1999 and realizes money remittances to

you simply resend money to our collaborator in your country and the
receiver will take cash from our courier in few days!

Our company guarantees to return money if the receiver of the
remittance indicated by you don't receive cash in 5 (five) days. Such
obligation is the fine quality of our service.

3) About 3 hours of free time a week (it doesn't matter what time of a day);

Any person who wants to earn money may become our collaborator!
Besides there are stimulations for activity of collaborators, bonuses
for duration of work and an accumulation system of circulation of
money means in our company. That is the more you work with us the more
orders will pass through you and the more will be your payment.

For that connection with the manager who is responsible for your
region will be realized by means of the e-mail in comfortable time for
you!
